As it says in the title, can you make a thrust move on the turn you arrive from deepstrike?

To add some context, I was playing with my tau against my friend and i deepstruck in a unit of Crisis suits to pop a tank with their fusions, but they were under threat of being charged next turn by a squad of necrons so i wanted to make a thrust move to try to evade them, but (as it says in the rules) you can't move on the turn you arrive from deepstrike but doesn't mention that you can't make thrust moves on the turn you arrive from deepstrike.

As we were both not sure of what to do, we said they couldn't and the unit was destroyed in the following assault phase. But could they have 'thrusted' away?

You can't move further in the movement phase, but can choose to run and use the jetpack move.

Indeed, Running and Thrusting are both legal. I believe Thrust even mentions it, but it has been a while since I looked at that point in the rule.

The Thrust Move rule under Jet Pack specifically states that the Thrust Move action can be made even if you arrived by Deep Strike that turn.

Thats great thanks for the help, so those poor lil shas'ui didnt have to die after all!
